Attach on Titan

I had Attach on Titan recommended to me by on of my students a couple of weeks ago and this week I have finally come to the end of the season one only to find that there is not season two in the works. 

Let me just say that I loved this series and I have since gone and told the student that i really don't like them becasue I am now going to have to track down the mangas. Said student laughed.

I loved this series, and the sci fi elements are strong, almost steam punk esque.

Not since Evangelian Neon Genesis (and possibly Ghost in the Shell; Stand Alone Complex) have I been so enthralled in the ethos of an anime. 

Things that I loved:

1. The 3D movement gear is so totally differen't from any other propulsion system as its so incredibly cool. I just know that I am way to clutsy and clumsy to pull it off but i so want to try.

2. Trying to work out where this alternative history would fit in in the timeline of humanity. Horses and carts but 3D gear and guns and flares.

3. Working out were all these Titans come from. I thought it was the people that get eaten transformed but now I don't think that is right, are they aliens? Whats going on?  

4. Mikasa's back story perfectly explains her suicidal protection of Eren.

Things that I need to know (or I will die):

1. That key! What is in the basement, was this whole people transforming into titans and experiment by Eren's father or what?

2. What happened to Eren's father?

3.Arwin's back story?

So if you haven't already, watch it, its awesome but be warned, you are going to have the same question I have and you are going to have to do the same hunt that I am currently performing, find me those mangas. On the up side, I have been informed that there is a small spin off manga dealing with Levi's back story so there is that to comfort me.
